1.67 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

There are stones that seem to have been born from the breath of the earth itself, and this emerald sings like a forest at dawn, a single, luminous leaf captured in crystal form. At 1.67 carat it sits with a graceful presence, neither shy nor ostentatious, its emerald cut shape carving clean, architectural lines that allow the green to open and breathe. The hue is vivid, a green that leans toward the heart of summer meadows and the deep velvet of ancient canopies, transparent enough to hold light like a lantern, yet rich enough to feel like a secret kept between the soil and the sky. When you lift it, the polish sings, each facet a mirror that deepens the color and that offers a soft, incandescent glow at the edges. This gem rests in measurements of 9.02 by 5.99 by 4.46 millimeters, dimensions that translate into an elegant scale for a ring centerpiece, a pendant of whispered promise, or a collector's tray that reads like a map of refined taste.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Emerald Company I can tell you that this Colombian emerald embodies the rare harmony of natural character and collector quality. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a hallmark of authenticity for emeralds that gives the stone its inner landscape without distracting from its brilliance. These gentle inclusions, far from flaws, are like rivers and moss within the gem, proof of its natural journey, and they work with the cut to create depth and life. Enhancement is standard, consistent with fine emerald practice, treatments that stabilize and reveal the stone's true beauty while preserving its natural integrity. The polish is excellent, which means each plane of the emerald has been finished to a level that maximizes light return and tactile pleasure, the facets catching and releasing light in a slow, sensuous rhythm. Origin is Colombia, a country famed for producing emeralds of unparalleled color and character, and this provenance lends not only value but a lineage of craft and earth that collectors honor. Picture this stone set within a frame of warm gold, the emerald cut lending itself to a bezel or prong setting that offers both modern clarity and classical romance, or imagine it resting solo in a display drawer, a jewel for a connoisseur who appreciates the way light moves through a gem that is both honest and magnificent.

This emerald is a perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection, a piece that speaks to a collector's eye for narrative, history, and aesthetic balance. It offers versatility, because its proportions allow for commanding presence without overwhelming a composition, and because its vivid color harmonizes with both cool and warm metals, creating endless possibilities for bespoke settings and heirloom designs. For those who curate gems like chapters in a life story, this stone will be the paragraph that draws sighs, the quiet centerpiece that transforms a cabinet into a sanctuary. It is ideal for a collector seeking a Colombian example with transparent depth and a lively, intense green, a jewel that will sit beautifully among other treasures while also holding its own in solitary reverence. When advising clients, I often suggest settings that allow the stone to be seen from multiple angles, so that its internal landscape can converse with light, and I recommend gentle care routines that honor both the stone's natural inclusions and its standard enhancement, ensuring that it retains its glow for generations.

At The Natural Emerald Company we celebrate gemstones that carry stories, provenance, and the craft of responsible selection, and this emerald arrives with that promise.
